Oats provide texture and are often more affordable.

Cream together 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons of butter and 2 and 1/3 cups of sugar until light and fluffy.

Add 5 eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

Stir in 1/4 teaspoon of pineapple extract.

In a separate bowl, combine 2 and 1/2 cups of flour and 1 heaping teaspoon of baking powder.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with 10 ounces of evaporated milk, mixing until just combined.

Grease and flour the baking pans.

Divide the thick batter evenly into the prepared pans.

Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Let the cakes cool in the pans for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
